Historical Note 

On the evening of May lo, 1869, several gentlemen met and 
agreed to issue a call for a more general meeting of those interested in 
the formation of a local Historical Society. In pursuance of this 
action a meeting was held on the 13th. It was determined to organize 
a society: a committee was appointed to draft a Constitution, which 
was adopted, substantially as presented, in the following June. Ap- 
plication was made to the Commissioners of Dauphin County for a 
room in the Court House. This request was granted: the Society fitted 
thf^ room opposite the present City Treasurer's officewith the necessary 
furniture and held all its meetings in it until 1895. Its collections of 
MSS, books and newspaper files grew so rapidly and were of so much 
value, that a Charter* of incorporation was applied for, and was granted 
by the Court, January 21, 1870, to "THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY 
OF DAUPHIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA". In May, 1895, 
the large room at the north west corner of the third floor of the Court 
House Annex was generously fitted up in a handsome and commodious 
manner by the County Commissioners for the use of the Society, 
thereby enabling a much better arrangement and display of the valuable 
collections to be made.
